Set 30 years after the events of the original 1982 sci-fi classic, the explosive, CGI-laced trailer gives another glimpse at Jared Leto’s villain, a God-like egomaniac who makes replicants. The trailer also shows Robin Wright’s mysterious character, and Ryan Gosling's apparent love interest Ana de Armas.

Gosling plays an LAPD Officer known as "K" - a new blade runner on the hunt for Harrison Ford's Deckard who has been missing for three decades. K unearths a "secret that has the potential to plunge what's left of society into chaos," which forces him to locate Deckard.

Blade Runner 2049 is written by Alien: Covenant's and Logan's Michael Green as well as Hampton Fancher, who scripted the original film. In the original, set in 2019, Ford's ex-detective Deckard comes out of retirement to hunt down a team of humanoids that have escaped from an outer space mining colony and ended up on Earth.

This full trailer follows the teaser, released in December. Blade Runner 2049 will be released on October 6, 2017.
